Bossa nova & Jazz
Around the theme “Bossa nova & jazz”, it is an anthology of classics by Tom Jobim, mixing the essence of jazz with bossa nova, which is offered by LatinAlma Jazz, with sung interpretations in Portuguese, French and English and instrumental improvisations (piano, trombone). Linked to this dynamic, the album Getz § Gilberto is a reference for many lovers of bossa nova, marking the meeting between the harmonies of Brazilian music and North American jazz. Hôbalala Jazz is inspired by this album.
